. A primary object-of invention is to provide, a mechanism that may be used either in the cutting of doughnutslor the cutting I of cookies. i A further object of my invention consists in providing a manually. operated device adapted to the quantity production to either doughnuts or cookies. i I A .still further object I of my invention consists in providing a cutter for doughnuts or cookies in quantity production that I I I broken away,ofanother embodimentof the I invention." Z r r Fig. -9-Iis a-perspective View of the cen i may be selectively used for either purpose. By the removal of the cylindrical center section, the device may-be used for cookies, and' with it in for doughnuts. I I

Still furtherobjects of my'invention consist in a device adapted to the quantity production of doughnuts or cookies, that is made of sheet material, of but few parts, one that will not easily get out I of order, and wherein the handle elements may be utilized for the locking of the cylindrical section relative to thebody portion, the removal of I which transformsthe doughnut cutter into] I I r 'anglesgas shownat and 4,,toengagewith' a cooky cutter.

Withthese and incidental objects in View,

the invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combination of arts, the essential elements of which are Q set forth in the appended claim,-and a pre- In the drawings:

In this instance, both members 9 and 10 have cut out arms 17 adjacent their ends; The members 9 and-10 are placedieach with the convex side 7 of one against the convex side of the other, the arms 17 of the one overlappinga corresponding arm of the r?
